The Bagobo rat (Bullimus bagobus) is one of four species of rodent in the genus Bullimus, in the family Muridae. It is locally known as Kawili. The species is found on the islands of Samar, Leyte, Mindanao and Basilan in the Philippines, and Wikipedia counts it among the endemic fauna of the Philippines and the fauna of Mindanao. It was described by Edgar Alexander Mearns in 1905. The International Union for Conservation of Nature assessed it in 2016 as Least Concern, the category for species that are not currently judged to be close to threatened. The article describing the animal is brief and records its identity, local name, range and conservation status; detailed accounts of its diet, breeding and behavior are not given in the source used here.
